In a bid to understand Kapil’s personality, Ranveer had spent 10 days at the cricketer’s residence in Delhi. He also trained with Kapil himself during the boot camp in Dharamshala. Praising the actor, Kapil had told Hindustan Times in an interview, “His commitment and passion. These two traits in him are what strikes an onlooker at the first go. He will be at something repeatedly and won’t let go till he feels he’s mastered it, despite others telling him it’s acceptable. Just acceptable is not okay. It has to be excellent.”

Directed by Kabir Khan, 83 is based on the story of India’s first cricket World Cup win in 1983. Ranveer’s wife and actor Deepika Padukone will play his onscreen wife Romi in the film. The film’s crew is currently stationed in Scotland.
